Director: George Clooney
The Ides of March is a taut, topically relevant film about the dark side of American politics. Clooney steps behind the camera here (as well as in front), to deliver a movie that is a Manchurian-like, western-style showdown between compromised election systems and hopeful, best-intentions naivete. The actors here, Gosling in particular, give the film its strength, playing characters that bring an insistence to the plot. The story that unfolds should give both the left- and right-wing something to agree on...there is no be a bright side to politics.
